fitNERD
Fit Nerd is where faith, fitness, and science collide. We geek out on genetics, health, and training — all while keeping Christ at the center. From nutrition and hormones to joyful movement and real-life faith, you’ll discover how to work with the body God designed so you can feel strong, energized, and fearfully fit. I like to explore the current trends- food, exercise, and lifestyle- and discuss who that trend will benefit and why.
